[QUOTE="Jon_Dahl, post: 5358535, member: 89822"] One thing that bothers me are the size-differences... Being a giant is just more than having a reach, having a bit more hp and that's about it. Facing a giant is disheartening stuff really and you really have to move around to lot to do it. In my opinion there has to something really special about a creature who can fight toe-to-toe against significantly larger opponent.
